The Truth About Factory Farms Infographic!

The vast majority of the food produced in the United States comes
from industrial-sized confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs).
Ironically, there’s a good chance you haven’t seen one – they are
typically hidden from public view, and their operators don’t want you to
see what’s really going on out of fear that you would turn away in
disgust at the thought of eating their “food”.
But it doesn’t take much to see that the modern industrial system of
meat and poultry production exerts serious toll on animal welfare, the
environment, and human health. If these things don’t merit a prompt call
to action, then I don’t know what will.

The First Victim: Livestock

In this infographic, I’ve provided a picture of what happens to
chickens, pigs, and cattle in factory farms under factory-farm
conditions. For starters, hundreds of millions of male chicks are killed
each year upon hatching because they will not grow up to lay eggs!
Disease is rampant among these CAFO animals: they live in cramped and
unsanitary living conditions, a natural consequence of raising animals
in unbelievable numbers.
It is just as highly disturbing how CAFO animals are routinely
administered a variety of drugs, including antibiotics. They’re given
drugs whether they’re sick or well, because it’s important to keep as
many of them as possible alive until it’s time for slaughter.
And what is the result of routinely giving antibiotic to the animals?
Significant growth boosts, a purely a financial motive – larger fatter
animals equal higher profits.

Waste and Pollution on a Massive Scale

Raising tens of thousands of animals in one facility translates to a
load of waste. Animal manure is traditionally regarded as an important
fertilizer when produced on a much smaller scale, but it has become one
of the most polluting substances in the country.
When this waste is produced in massive quantities, it becomes
hazardous. But another irony lies here: federal legislature forbids
animal waste from being defined as “hazardous.”
According to a report of the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production (IFAP), the annual production of manure produced by CAFOs exceeds that produced by humans by at least three times. Animal waste in such volumes may go beyond the capacity of the land to absorb the nutrients and attenuate pathogens.
Factory farm runoff also carries the following:

Hormones and antibiotics such as Tylosin: A widely
used antibiotic for disease treatment and growth promotion in swine,
beef cattle, and poultry production. Tylosin decays rapidly in the
environment but can still be found in surface waters of agricultural
watersheds

Heavy metals: Especially zinc and copper, added as micronutrients to the animal diet

Pesticides: Which are used to control insect infestations and fungal growth

Typically stored in massive “lagoons,” the waste often converts to
rivers of waste that flow from CAFOs to the surrounding environment.
This infographic will show you specific cases of environmental pollution
and damage brought about by waste from factory farms.

The Adverse Effects on Human Health

CAFOs serve as breeding grounds for disease not just among animals,
but also the farm workers and the rest of us. Feeding livestock
continuous, low-dose antibiotics create an environment conducive to
widespread disease proliferation.
Antibiotic-resistant disease is particularly concerning. Among the
many resistant pathogens, today is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus
aureus or MRSA, which has so far been responsible for more than 94,000 infections and 18,000 deaths in the US each year.
A lesser-known issue is the antibiotic-laden manure from CAFOs
contaminating the rest of your food supply. This means that even your
lettuce may contain antibiotics.

It is likely that these grim realities of the food supply will
continue for a long time, as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
refuses to impose stricter regulations on CAFOs. What the FDA simply
does is ask food producers to voluntarily limit their use of certain antibiotics.
Don’t let yourself, the animals, and the environment bear the brunt.
The best possible way to avoid CAFO products is to support small
family farms in your area, specifically organic farms that respect the
laws of nature and create synergistic, self-supporting, non-polluting,
non-GMO ecosystems.
This infographic will also let you in on organizations you can go to if you want to know more about this cause.
It’s time for you to decide on what type of food system you’re
willing to support. After all, knowing the source of your food is a
critical aspect of taking control of your health.
